Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Longboat Key, FL

The desire to be successful is normal and often can feel difficult to achieve. We all would like to feel happy, loved, and to accomplish our goals. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and transitions in life are things everyone experiences. Life is challenging. Building and creating a successful life is difficult when you do not have the proper skills. As adolescents and women we are faced with a unique set of expectations and issues. Those with the added responsibilities of being a parent or educator may struggle to manage the complex issues this generation is facing and benefit from additional emotional support.

Navigating the transitions of adolescence and young adulthood can be one of the most stressful things we do in our lifetime. From physical changes, emotional ups and downs, to big life decisions, this period of time is pivotal and can be confusing to figure out alone. Without the right support, we can feel lost, stuck, hopeless, & disconnected from ourselves and what we love. If this sounds familiar to you, I'm here to help. I'm a licensed psychologist with years of experience helping young people navigate complex problems & emotions. I enjoy helping others figure out who they are, what they want, and how to live authentically.
